What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Shower tray repair in Colbury, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and a damaged area around the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Colbury questions
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hampshire.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Colbury?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
